Video - Justin Bieber Baby Drama Grows – Police Now Involved and Jimmy Fallon Spoofs…

Houston – we have a problem.

Just twenty four hours into the Mariah Yeater and Justin Bieber baby drama the story is not going away.

Los Angeles police have now said that they are looking into the fact that Bieber’s accuser, now 20-year-old Mariah Yeater, may have engaged in statutory rape with the then 16-year-old singer.

Yeater says she hooked up with JB in a private bathroom last year and had sex at the Staples Center after one of his concerts.

She claims in court documents that Bieber whisked her into a private bathroom and the two engaged in consensual sex that left her pregnant with now three month old Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Yeater.

California says it is a crime for an adult to have sex with anyone under eighteen years old. If the offender is no more than three years older than the victim it would result in a conviction of a misdemeanor charge punishable by up to a year in jail.

Mariah Yeater

Yeater has filed a paternity suit in California demanding Bieber take a blood and DNA test, and a court date of December 15th has been scheduled to hash out the details of what happens next.

Yeater is suing for $12,000 per month to cover child support for their son. She also told police,

“The intercourse only lasted about 30 seconds and Justin did not want to wear a condom. He apologized for his lack of stamina afterwards and then I was whisked away and I never saw him again. I tried to contact him through normal channels but nobody ever got back to me so I felt I had to go public.”

A rep for Justin’s legal team told the press,

“These accusations are malicious, defamatory and demonstrably false. We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations.”

But there are some people out there that believe this is all a big hoax, a joke, a ruse, a con job, a Bieber baby scam.

They say the story was devised long ago as a way to keep Bieber’s name in the news during his Christmas album release and help bolster his masculinity in a growing crowd of fans that are starting to believe the whole Selena Gomez girlfriend thing is a big fraud and Bieber is, well… less than manly.

The Bieb’s DID appear on the “Today” show Friday morning to try and crush the rumors by saying,

"I'd just like to say basically that none of those allegations are, like, true. I know that I'm going to be a target, but I'm, like, never going to be a victim. It's, like, crazy, every night after the show I've gone right from the stage right to my car, so it's, like, crazy that some people want to make up such false allegations. To set the record straight, none of it is true."

Bieber told Matt Lauer, “I don’t know that women and I have never met her.”

But that didn’t keep the late night comedy world from taking a stab at the humorous aspect of the story.

In fact, Jimmy Fallon did a parody of the singers hit song “Baby” to explain to his fans what had happened.

We love it when Jimmy does a musical parody and this one will become a classic.



Funny stuff.

We have all seen how Justin and Selena Gomez act around each other – particularly their weekend romp in Hawaii earlier this year where photos emerged of Bieber grabbing Selena’s butt and the two sucking face in every photo.

We know JB likes to hump his women – so what if the baby story is true?

We’ll cross that bridge after the court date in December and after more of the facts are released.

We suspect this who thing may just disappear after clearer heads prevail.

Video – New “Journey” Rocks the Today Show – Talks About New Album

Anybody who grew up during the 1970’s and 1980’s remembers the original band Journey.

Who can forget "Don't Stop Believin”, “Lights”, “Open Arms”, “Wheel in the Sky”, “Any Way You Want It”, and "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin”?

And who could forget the unforgettable voice of Steve Perry?

Journey has been through a lot of transition since their inception when members from the original Santana left to create the new band.

Lead singer Steve Perry was hired in 1977 and became what most of us think about today when we think of the voice of Journey.

But today is a new day and Perry has left the group and been replaced by Pilipino lead singer Arnel Pineda.

Arnel is not the first replacement for Perry – but he is the latest.

We were excited when it was announced they would be performing on NBC’s “Today” Show - and if we close our eyes we can almost hear Perry – and remember the golden early days.

Watch the new “Journey” on the NBC Today Show

Okay, they aren’t bad – but it just doesn’t seem the same as it was in the old days.

But Journey has definitely left their mark on popular culture.

"Don't Stop Believin” was used on “The Sopranos”, and then adapted for the hit television show “Glee” and the “Family Guy”.

The band's second album with Arnel Pineda, “Eclipse”, was released in May 2011 and debuted in the top ten on the Billboard 200 chart.

We give the new group a B+

Meredith Vieira leaving TODAY Show - Ann Curry New Co-anchor – Video

Meredith Vieira announced this morning that she will be leaving the NBC Today Show next month.

Current news correspondent Ann Curry will assume her role as co-anchor along with Matt Lauer.

It had been rumored that Lauer was also leaving but NBC says they have a multi-year contract and he is happy with his role and will be staying put.

NBC News President Steve Capus said,

“Meredith is a remarkable woman and broadcaster who in five short years has left an indelible imprint on morning television. While we will miss waking up with her each morning, we are working together on developing her next chapter at NBC News.”

Meredith, 57, joined Matt Lauer at the anchor desk in 2006 when Katie Couric left to anchor the CBS Evening News.

Are Meredith Vieira AND Matt Lauer Both Leaving NBC’s Today Show? Say it Aint So!

In what can only be described as major bad news for the NBC network, reports are surfacing that BOTH Meredith Vieira and Matt Lauer say they will be leaving the Today show later this year.

Some are wondering if the network can survive yet another high profile departure after the blow from Alec Baldwin yesterday that “30 Rock” is over.

When asked about the speculation, NBC press handlers said,

“There seems to be an awful lot of speculation around news anchors these days, and it’s not our practice to comment on any of it. Matt Lauer has a long term contract with NBC News and ‘Today. ”

True. But both host contracts are due to expire at the end of this year, and “ET” reported that Lauer had been telling everybody he planned to move on once his contract expired in December. And TV Guide was reporting earlier this week about Meredith’s desire to exit the show.

TV Guide says Vieira has been in discussions with NBC executives for several months about extending her contract, but she is said to be exhausted with the demanding early hours and is ready to move on.

Vieira also said that the health of her husband, who has battled multiple sclerosis and cancer, will be a factor in considering her future on the program.

It doesn’t appear that there is any personal friction between the two hosts, in fact they seem like they get along pretty well, even in live embarrassing moments like when Matt Lauer’s divorce turned into laughs on the show.

On critic stated,

“Of course NBC is going to deny it. They just lost ’30 Rock’ and now their morning news lineup is falling apart.”

There has been some speculation that Vieira, Lauer, Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin are gracefully trying to exit the network before the Comcast NBC Universal deal begins to impact daily operations.

One insider commented,

“Comcast is going to chop up every bit of content they can mine from NBC and either charge for it or try to keep others from embedding it on the internet. The days of being able to freely use NBC content are over.”

THAT seems to make more sense than anything else – the big stars want to get behind NBC before the Comcast takeover is complete because they see what the future will look like and they don’t want any part of it.

But it could also be the oldest ploy in the Hollywood playbook – act like you’re going to leave just before your contract expires so they will offer you more money for the next season.

Somehow, in a sad way, that seems to make the most sense of all.

Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon – your move?
